Does that lay intuition match with the proposed findings in TFA? I can copy the relevant sentence from the abstract, in case you didn't see it: > Infected wome

Does that lay intuition match with the proposed findings in TFA? I can copy the relevant sentence from the abstract, in case you didn't see it: > Infected women scored higher in tribalism and lower in cultural liberalism

We picked terrible words for political stuff. Cultural liberalism is a pro free speech, "classical liberal"[0] (in modern times considered conservative) view. > Cultural Leftists are people who believe “that minorities must be protected from psychological harm arising from forms of dominant culture, and that a radical transformation of science, institutions, narratives and culture can redistribute power from dominant to subaltern groups.” > Cultural Liberals, on the other hand, “prioritise freedom of expression, equal treatment without regard to identity, the scientific method, freedom of conscience and the primacy of classical liberal traditions of law.” > And finally, Cultural Conservatives are people who “prioritise the defense of national, ethnic and religious traditions. The dominant form of cultural conservatism in Britain is cultural patriotism.”[1] [0]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_liberalism [1]https://iea.org.uk/the-rise-of-cultural-socialism-a-review-of-two-reports/ https://iea.org.uk/the-rise-of-cultural-socialism-a-review-o...

  We must also consider where we source our definitions from. The IEA is a right-wing think tank. They have a vested interest in promoting certain points of view.

    First one that I found and it matches with my education. Happy to use any other you provide, but liberalism as a concept isn't something only occupied by the left wing even though they tend to be conflated.

      It's really the portrayal of "cultural leftism" that leaves something to be desired. It's framed in such a way to make "cultural leftism" seem not only more paternalistic than they would describe their goals but to portray the issues facing minorities as more abstract and ephemeral than they actually are. I notice how you only focus on the defensible definition as if the conflation of liberalism with some conservative goals could be the only objection to your post.
